An 1872 article on the industrial manufacture of linen collars and cuffs, using the Troy, New York firm of George B. Cluett, Brother & Co. as its example. It follows a collar from the design of a new style and the making of wooden patterns in graded neck sizes through cutting, the sewing-machine room, the eleven-step laundry process, inspection and packing by the dozen. It also covers the firm's stock policy, its relations with its 500 to 800 workers and a brief account of how men's and women's goods differ. It includes an engraving of the Cluett factory and has no weaving content.
